IT IS NOT expensive. You'll get a 2 month's supply -- longer if you freeze most of it in smaller containers and thaw when you need to -- for $40 something, including Fed-Ex shipment straight to your door. It comes pre-diluated to 30 units per cc and is ready to use. Also comes with a measured syringe to use in giving it ORALLY. J Truman
